Merged in the 'dewitt' branch, which was branched from 'gowans'.
Other changes:
* moved gson & mongo jars into the lib folder under src instead of target.  The target area is for generated deployment files only.
* removed target, *.class files.
* checked in the .settings, .project, and .classpath files.
  * Note .settings may be unnecessary, I will likely disable before final checkin.
* added .gitignore with correct settings.
* IMPORTANT:  added-back the 'rest' URI element.  2 reasons for this:
  1) I think it generally is better practice to segregate the rest
     URIs from the rest of the public web (browser-based) interface, and
  2) I'd like to keep around the wizard-generated Member code because we
     can use it for users and such... and I'm not sure how it breaks exactly
     but not having 'rest' in there breaks the main web interface.
